NAME

       tinydns-conf - sets up a DNS publication service.

SYNOPSIS

       tinydns-conf acct logacct D ip

DESCRIPTION

       This   is   a  reference  page.   For  tutorial  information,  see  the
       instructions for
       running a DNS server (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-server.html).

       tinydns-conf creates a service directory D that runs  tinydns(8).   The
       name  D  must  start  with  a  slash  and  must not contain any special
       characters.  Normally D is /etc/tinydns.

       You can run the service under svscan(8) by using the  update-service(8)
       program on Debian GNU/Linux

       update-service --add D

       or  by  creating  a  symbolic link in the svscan(8) directory (normally
       /service or /etc/service), e.g.:

       ln -s D /service

       The service will start within five seconds, and will be restarted  upon
       reboot.  You can use svc(8) to control the service.

       tinydns-conf  arranges  for  tinydns(8)  to chroot to D/root and to run
       under the uid and gid of acct.  The name  acct  must  not  contain  any
       special characters.

       tinydns-conf   creates  D/root/Makefile  to  run  tinydns-data(8)  upon
       request.

       tinydns-conf arranges for tinydns(8) to listen for UDP packets on  port
       53 of ip, and to send outgoing packets from ip.

       tinydns-conf   creates   an  automatically  rotated  log  directory  in
       D/log/main.   The  logs  are  owned  by  logacct.   The   corresponding
       multilog(8)  processes  run under the uid and gid of logacct.  The name
       logacct must not contain any special characters.
